President Donald Trump said he will not sign any legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, escalating pressure on Senate Republicans who have resisted changes to filibuster rules. In a Truth Social post, Trump called for partial elimination of the filibuster to advance the bill, which would mandate voter ID and proof of citizenship, limit mail-in ballots, and include provisions related to transgender youth and sports participation.
- Trump urged Republicans to move the SAVE America Act “to the front of the line” and opposed a “watered down version.”
- The proposal would require voter ID and proof of citizenship and restrict mail-in ballots to military, illness, disability, or travel-related cases.
- Trump called for banning transgender athletes in women’s sports and restricting certain medical procedures for transgender minors.
- He said he would withhold signatures on other bills until the measure is passed.
- Senate Republicans have shown reluctance to weaken the filibuster to advance the legislation.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said there should be no pushback to what she described as “common sense proposals.”
- Leavitt also said U.S. actions against Iran will continue as an air campaign and that ground troops are not part of the current plan, though not ruled out.
